This seems to be the ultimate proof that there is something wrong with the pricing in OW2.
Overwatch 2’s monetization is really harsh and leads to some rather funny, if not unpleasant, situations. All F2P supporters repeat that, after all, you can play without buying cosmetic items. This, of course, is true.
The problem is that if no one buys items, then Blizzard will cease to be profitable to support Overwatch 2, or rather – instead of reducing prices – the developers would only raise them.
Cheaper in real life
One Reddit user showed that it will come out cheaper to buy a pendant in real life, on Blizzard’s official website, than in-game. Indeed, the Pachimari pendant officially costs $5.
It is nothing amazing – you can use it as a key ring attached to your keys etc. It is quite small, but also comforting and nice looking.
Pachimari which is a weapon pendant in Overwatch 2 costs 700 credits at the moment. It’s a small cosmetic item that doesn’t particularly affect gameplay.
Buying 700 credits requires buying a total of 1,000, because it is impossible to buy only 700. This means that players must spend $10.
Well, it is quite funny, or perhaps as we wrote at the beginning – sad. Of course, you have to approach it with a distance, because maybe for someone Pachimari in the game will have more value than it does in reality.
